"black/death/metalcore" fan insults other peoples music taste... ah such irony is life.
I read some books written by psychologists who through studies realized that young men who listen to rebellious music do so because they are struggling to find an identity in a world that intimidates them. "Heavy" guitars and drums provide the illusion of strength and confidence, traits that are admired in adult males in society.
But come on boys, its the year 2008, we all know buying a cd with "bad ass" music on it doesnt make you "bad ass" just cause you listen to it, right? Might as well just buy a throne and make yourself king. Or if you are blind, buy yourself some books and theyll magically make you see.
Damn! You smart!

Man what is this world going to when you can't just beat the shit out of your little brothers for trying to talk up to you

Blocking wow with the router sounds like a sound idea 
alternatively get a girlfriend and screw her very loud every night until your bother feels like a complete loser

go on his account and press either o or n (i forget) and open his character sheet. drag one of the items in his 14 slots of his character off that dialog box you opened and it will ask if you really want to delete it. press ok. im gonna warn you though he will really really really really get madand will hurt you afterwards.

Nyvone: I honestly can't tell if you read anything or not. But, since it looks like a serious post, I'll reply in kind.
It's not that I hate the game itself. Hell, I acknowledge it for how much it's put the gaming industry in a positive light... or at the very least in how much it's gotten people to start gaming. The whole point of this thread was to bitch about how because of WoW (and techno...), my brothers were pissing me off and how I wanted to get back at them by sabotaging their most valued possessions (they really don't have anything else important besides WoW). I don't care about whether or not they ruin their lives. For all I care they can die and I'd only be relieved about freedom of bandwidth, increased budget priority from my parents, and... well maybe I could expand my bedroom.
Bockit: I wish it were that easy.
Vedic: You're calling WoW a real use of bandwidth? And whoever said I was pirating software in the first place? You're automatically connecting the use of bittorrent trackers to software piracy. I download and seed my anime as much as I can... and upon occasion music.
My priorities ARE straight. They're straighter than they were all of first semester. Now that I'm on break, I'm indulging myself.
Uriel: Haaaaah shouting is so out of character for me.
And I really, honestly hope you're right about my parents. The thing there is... I'm pretty sure that at this point they ARE. When Wrath of the Lich King came out Thursday night, my mother actually drove my brother to a midnight release at some GameStop.
Even if I were to, I don't know, "get angry" (which I have about other things before... albeit mostly lesser things), my parents wouldn't do shit about it. In all these instances where a) I was angry and b) one of my brothers were involved, they always took their side. Fuck them, there's no reasoning possible at this point.
Divinek: I wish I were that kind of brother... too late now. It wouldn't be seen as "natural behavior" so much as me "lashing out uncontrollably".
Redbluegreen: I actually thought of messing with the router... things like limiting bandwidth for WoW and whatever. Only problem is that my dad passworded that thing and I have no idea what it is (anymore).
Hypnosis: They're supposed to not know it was me =D

At the outset, I think it's incredibly ironic that you trash WoW players and Techno fans in one breath and then so fiercely defend your own interests when met with similar idiotic generalisations in the next.. Just something to think about. You're not the only one guilty of this though; there's so much fucking idiotic WoW hate on these boards and the anti-WoW zealots don't see how fucking stupid they sound.. it's incredible. But I digress from your problem.
You really have a few options, depending on whether you want to be pro-active in stopping the problems, or reactive. And given your description of yourself, the reactive is probably more your style.
Pro-active:
1. Log on his computer right now, google "WoW gold", "WoW hacks", etc and click on literally every link that you can be bothered clicking. Go for a good 10 pages of google.
2. Jump on the WoW forums and find the threads with keylogger links (they're really easy to spot, the threads are typically about "hot girls on satellite" etc and have links on the first post), click every key logging link.
In short, you're going to get his account hacked. You don't need his passwords or anything, you just need to plant the seeds on his computer, so that when he logs in, he fucks himself. Yes, Blizzard will restore his account... but only a few times. Every time you come to realise that his account is back online... Repeat 1 and 2 above. Do it again and again. Eventually.. Blizzard will close the accounts and in the process they will have lost weeks and weeks of play time due to Blizzard "investigating". They will eventually get sick of it, or shit.. they might find something else to spend their time on. Ultimately though, the account closure is likely to sink their interest.
Reactive:
Harden the fuck up. Tell your brothers that, guess what, it's not reasonable to be playing the damn game from 7pm at night until 5;30am in the morning and expecting you to not use any bandwidth in between those hours. Tell them that you will continue to put your torrents on at night like after 1am when there's not a great need for them to still be playing and when you will be sleeping. Tell them that if they come good on their threat to break your laptop, you will take a fucking bat to their computer. Call their bluff. But if they do it.. you do the same. Either way, you get them out of the cycle and nothing really changes for you... you aren't getting your torrents at the moment anyway, right?
You really need to get serious about the issue, otherwise you should have made this blog without the request for help, and left it at the bitching and moaning.
|
lol if they go and break your laptop it's already gg for them unless your parents are totally retarded.
|
if you do shit to their accounts you are a gigantic asshole and deserve all the headaches they put you through
I really don't understand what the problem is here. Explain to them that you torrent only while you can sleep so that they have more time to play lag-free WoW.
Then, tell them if they don't stop bitching you will torrent 24/7.
I also don't understand in the OP. you complain about the music, and the speaker system... and then say that he is wearing headphones. what's going on exactly? what is it you are complaining about?
|
it sounds like you have some irrational problem with WoW that is much worse than what you are complaining about in the first place.
|
you want them to stop, but you say you arent confrontational. you also say that you are passive. those dont go together. you just have to either tell them to stop and establish a sense of authority over them, or keep complaining and do nothing.
if you're really fucked up, though, you can mess with their real-lives, like... putting stuff in their food, etc. but that's not really gonna solve anything.
it might be too late, but it might work if you start now and establish your social standpoint/position of authority as older brother. if you need to use force, then do it. and if your parents side with the brothers, then you have to prepare to defend yourself.
if possible, you can also move away from home, but that depends on how dependent you are on your parents. if you are really dependent (financially), then you might not wanna do this or do anything to really piss them off...

stop giving him advice till he updates with how his balls are textured or existant

ROFL this has to be a troll
why such insane amount of retards/fags in this thread? LOLOL
Nyovne, seriously man, thats fucked up
just cuz u had a housemate like that doesnt give u exclusive ability to judge wow-addicts
i wanted to say stfu but i would get banned for this im sure
And I grew up with a younger bro, we fought a lot but i could never hurt him since my parents would kill me for that. He did worse shit to me just to retaliate but i was pretty mean as well. Once i shut computer off while he was playing, dont remember why, and he swore he would erase my saved game. I think he did, or hid them somewhere lol. We used to go batshit and i regret all of that cuz it was humiliating to him, he was weaker then me. Shit id give a lot to take it back and act different, but from what u saying its completely different story. Basically your younger bro slaps you around, which is unheard of. Internet is fine, u cant do anything about it, find your time to download or w/e( u have no major rights here), but music is something else, u have to stop that. Talk to your parents first, tell them u get a headache/cant study, ask then what they want u to do. If they dotn help, take his speakers and fight back if he comes at u with an axe. Hope we read about it in the paper.

Congratulations, you managed to miss every point in the very post you quoted and restate your imbecilic stand, along with an arbitrary parting comment which I assume is your way of asserting some sort of intellectual superiority over me. Do pardon me while I ignore you.

lolol bunch of douchebags. brotherly love.
ok heres what you do. lock your door while you torrent !!
also to ForVengeance: that makes no sense whatsoever. Thats like saying people who like classic rock are pussies, or people that enjoy reggae are all stoners.

I wasnt responding to you haha. You have the same genuine problem as I have with my housemate and I totally empathise with your situation except that its even harder on you cause its your brothers and have an emotional interest in them throwing away their futures.
Its the pathetic replies on how to solve your problem that pissed me off :p.
